    Sons of LawTown Fool Manchester City

    Shit. What is it about these CL matches against German clubs. The Balotelli penalty vs. Dortmund in 2012. The pair of late Aguero goals vs, Bayern Munich last year. And then today.   Big win. Down five points to Juventus after only two matches would have been a tough hill to climb. Next up is a...

    Sons of LawTown Fool Manchester City

    What a humbling week. Makes you realize how premature (and stupid) any "crown 'em" chatter is. The loss was frustrating, but even more so is how unimaginative City can get when playing from behind. We have the Premier League's most expensive starting XI ever -- how many times was that repeated...

    Sons of LawTown Fool Manchester City

    What a kick in the bubblegum. Was catching Juventus at a great time, what with them banged up a bit and still integrating the new faces. The chances of them finishing top of the group took a major blow. Three home victories in the CL in their last 12 matches. Just abysmal.

    Manchester City 2014-15: Now With as Many Top Flight Titles as Wednesday

    So have these horseshit calls been as horseshitty as The Guardian live blog has described them? Dzeko tripped in the penalty area and City gets nothing. And it sounds like the call on Kolarov was soft.

    Manchester City 2014-15: Now With as Many Top Flight Titles as Wednesday

    Europa League, here we come. Three points behind Roma now and way behind in goal differential. Followed it on the Guardian blog ... Sounds like Cole and Maicon (combined age: 66) had field days, the midfield was listless until the introduction of Milner, Yaya = blech, and Dzeko was similarly...

    Manchester City 2014-15: Now With as Many Top Flight Titles as Wednesday

    I'm re-watching Sunday's match and the last five minutes just sunk in. "Lampard equalizing late against his old club" would have been No. 527 on the list of subplots I would have expected to occur this season.

    Manchester City 2014-15: Now With as Many Top Flight Titles as Wednesday

    I love Yaya, but honestly, there was part of me that wanted to see the summer drama left unresolved and City given no choice but to sell him (and they would have obviously sold high, too, based on last season's form). Not buying all the "Yaya's back" chatter I'm seeing today. He's looked totally...

    John Guidetti ... Who I have read so many glowing things about, yet he's never made a Premier League start for City. So yeah, three strikers.  :q:   And I certainly understood the FFP reasoning behind this. It's just tough to stomach when it's at a position the club can't afford to lose depth at.

    Also, the Negredo loan deal was an absolute head-scratcher. Leaves City with just three strikers: two are injury prone and the third is Dzeko. Don't know how this is gonna shake out, especially when the preferred formation is a 4-2-2-2.

    I hate NBC Sports. Only took me three matches to bitch about them this season. The telecast of Monday's match came in like shit and then the internet feed for Saturday's was equally shitty. Thank goodness for "Manchester Mondays"; gonna watch the matches this weekend during the boring-ass...

    Absolutely. So yeah ... When does the "Willy Caballero in" chatter start?

      I was on the Guardian site the morning of the United-MK Dons match and it took me a minute to remember why United was playing in the second round of the League Cup. Strange times indeed.

    I went to the Mad Hatter on Sunday morning for the Community Shield. Free breakfast buffet and half-price drinks. I bought some raffle tickets. That back four sucked; the atmosphere was wonderful.   I allegedly also went to the Mad Hatter on Friday evening. I have no recollection of this. I was...
